Japan bought and imported from this country 8.000.000 tons of scrap iron. steel. and steel scrap alone. sufficient to build 520 American submarines. Between 1937 and 1941. $18.000.000 worth of aircraft and parts and petroleum valued at two hundred and twenty million were sent from this country to Japan. And when the Jap planes struck and destroyed our great fleet at Pearl Harbor. killing 3.000 American boys. and in our battles with her in the Asiatic area. she used these materials against us. and our surgeons picked from the wounds of our boys razor blades and other scrap she bought while this very law was in effect. The claim that it guarantees peace does not rise to the dignity of respectable nonsense. Let us see what might happen if this power is lodged in the hands of people we do not know.
